Workflow Redesign
The deliberate restructuring of business processes to embed AI capabilities at optimal human-AI handoff points, rather than overlaying AI onto existing manual workflows.
What this means in practice
Workflow redesign operates on a five-level depth model — from awareness through fully autonomous — and requires explicit documentation of before/after states, human-AI interaction patterns, and adoption handoff plans.
Context in the COMPEL framework
Workflow redesign is primarily addressed in the Organize and Produce stages. It is a prerequisite for achieving value realization because AI systems that merely replicate existing manual processes rarely deliver their projected value.
Where you see this
Workflow Redesign is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Organize , Model , Produce and Evaluate stages — especially within the Value Realization layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
